It's been an interesting week weather wise, here in Oxford.

 

Lots of rain, resulting in lots of flooding, causing two of the main roads into the city being blocked. Buses have had to take major detours because of said floods, which has meant a huge increase in the number of cars on the road as the buses are taking ages to get through. What is normally a 15 minute drive to work has been taking me over an hour.

 

I haven't been able to get through the floods to my normal parking space, so have had to park a mile and a half away and walk in. On the first morning I had trainers on, and discovered the only pathway was also flooded, so had to take my trainers and socks off and wade through the freezing cold water!

 

Yesterday a collegue and I decided to walk through the floods (wearing wellies) to see how bad they really were. We had to turn back as they were so deep. I went to take a picture of a street sign which was almost submerged, stepped forward to get closer, fell off the kerb and my wellies filled up! How my collegue laughed!
